Moscow. October 21. INTERFAX.RU – South Korea on Thursday carried out a test launch into orbit of its new KSLV 2 rocket, also known as Nuri (“Nuri”). This was announced by its developer, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).

An all-South Korean-made launch vehicle was launched from the Naro cosmodrome on Venarodo Island in Jeollanam-do province (473 km south of Seoul) at 17:00 local time (11:00 Moscow time). It should launch a payload model into an orbit with an altitude of 700 to 800 km. The flight is designed for 16 minutes.

The development of the KSLV launch vehicle has been carried out since 2010. South Korea has invested about $ 1.8 billion in this three-stage rocket system. Its new test version was presented in June this year.

In 2013, Seoul successfully launched its first KSLV 1 space rocket, the first stage of which was built in Russia. Its first two launches (in 2009 and 2010) ended in failure due to problems with Korean-made equipment.

According to the head of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute Lee Sang Ryul, the launch of a 200-ton three-stage KSLV-II (Korean Space Launch Vehicle II) launch vehicle was carried out with a payload model weighing about 1.5 tons. The rocket has a height of 47.2 m and a diameter of 3.5 m.

If the launch is successful, South Korea will become the seventh country in the world to launch a rocket entirely of its own production. Already in May next year, the rocket can launch a 200-kilogram satellite into orbit.

In the future, with its help, it is planned to launch vehicles with a total mass of up to 1.5 tons into a low-earth orbit with an altitude of 300 km.

The KSLV-II launch vehicle is intended for commercial satellite launch services. The cost of such a launch is estimated at $ 30 million, which is less than competitors in Asia.

The company of former US President Donald Trump Trump Media & Technology Group announced the imminent launch of its own social network called TRUTH Social.

According to the assurances of the developers, the social network will become a rival to the liberal-minded media, as well as network giants, whose efforts are aimed at silencing the unwanted.

“We live in a world where the Taliban * have a huge Twitter presence and your beloved American president is silenced. This is unacceptable, – said Trump, announcing a new social network. Reported by The Guardian.

After the January storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters, the accounts of the 45th President of the United States were blocked in almost all major social networks – some announced temporary bans, some – about an eternal ban.

Initially, Trump was outraged that he was separated from his subscribers (the president's accounts had tens of millions of subscribers), and later said that he did not plan to return to the old social networks.

It is known that the launch of the beta version of TRUTH Social is scheduled for November 2021, and it will be possible to register in it at the first stage by invitation.

After being banned for life by all major social networks – Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, the former US president began blogging on another platform, declaring it a “space for free and safe communication.” But he did not achieve success in this field, returning to communicating with traditional media, skillfully using every excuse to reproach the Biden administration for unprofessionalism.

The capture of the Capitol is most likely organized by the US intelligence services

A new strain of coronavirus, AY.4.2, is picking up steam right now in the UK. Now it turned out that the first case of the disease was also detected in Russia.

According to Kamil Khafizov, head of the scientific group for the development of new methods for diagnosing human diseases at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, there are several carriers of the new variant on the territory of our country.

It is important to understand that AY.4.2 is just one of the many branches of the “delta” line, writes Lenta.ru with reference to the scientist. In this regard, it is difficult to say exactly how much the new strain is more dangerous than its predecessors.

Recall that foreign experts are of the opinion that AY.4.2 may turn out to be “the most contagious form” that humanity has encountered since the beginning of the pandemic.

Hacker.

The Tiktopers database, a platform for promoting an account on TikTok and Instagram, turned out to be openly available on the Web. In total, more than 5100 lines were found with email addresses, phone numbers and encrypted passwords of the platform's clients. This was announced by Ashot Hovhannisyan, the author of the “Information Leaks” channel. According to him, 82% of passwords and email addresses were unique.

As Hovhannisyan recalled, the largest leak with data from bloggers occurred in 2014 at LiveJournal. It affected 33.7 million users, Kommersant noted.

Tiktopers has assured that user data is unreliable. “Personal data of bloggers, including personal phone numbers, is stored outside the site's server. All user passwords in the database are encrypted, ”the service noted. They added that the number of attacks “from ill-wishers” is growing, but no demands from hackers have been received.

Andrey Shveidel, head of the direction for work with opinion leaders of the Isobar Moscow agency, explained that for reliable data protection it is necessary to use two-factor authentication.

The information that the platform has lost or that has been stolen from it belongs to a commercial secret, said Kirill Galichev, managing partner of the law firm GK Legal. It is about information that gives income to the organization.

“In such cases, the platform's losses are the amounts of income that will not be generated as a result of customer churn,” he added.

Alexander Pochuev, President of the Moscow International Bar Association “Pochuev, Zelgin and Partners”, said that responsibility for such a leak could be criminal. In addition, Roskomnadzor may fine a company that does not ensure the safety of data. According to him, in practice, due to the fact that it is difficult to prove guilt, fines rarely exceed 20,000 rubles.

Earlier, “Secret” wrote that the personal data base of hundreds of thousands of clients of the Telegram bot “Eye of God”, which is considered one of the largest data penetration services in Russia, was leaked to the Network.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous online scams have intensified. In this regard, the personal data of users began to “merge” more often than before.

Maria Volgina, an analyst at Jet Infosystems, spoke about how to recognize a “leak” of your personal information and how to protect yourself from this.

According to the specialist, the most obvious way to track unauthorized access to your accounts is to periodically check messages from social networks and services. They are usually configured in such a way that they notify the user about logging into the account from “suspicious” devices – devices and locations on which you were not previously seen, writes Prime.

Another sign of data leakage may be too weak a password. It is especially dangerous to use the same simple password on several accounts in different services at once.

As for the actions when your data was stolen, then the expert recommended first of all to minimize the possible damage. To do this, you can contact the support service of the compromised platform and change the password. If the bank data has “leaked”, then it is imperative to block the card.

The Moscow Arbitration Court has banned the Korean company Samsung Electronics and its Russian subsidiary from importing and selling more than 60 models of smartphones in Russia. This is stated in the published operative part of the additional decision of the court.

“To prohibit the import into the territory of the Russian Federation, the offer for sale, sale and storage for these purposes of devices intended for the use of the Samsung Rau payment service, during the operation (operation) of which, in accordance with their purpose, a patented method is automatically carried out, protected as an invention under a patent RF No. 2686003 “, – the document says.

The ban included 61 models of Samsung smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip with a flexible screen and the “flagship” Samsung Galaxy S21.

A lawsuit against the Korean company was filed by the Swiss “Squin SA” for using the invention under patent No. 2686003 without the consent of the copyright holder. This is a patent entitled “Electronic Payment System”, which describes “a method for conducting an online payment using a mobile device of a buyer and a cash register system of a seller, which are connected by wireless connection of any known standards and protocols.”

RBC sent a request to Samsung.

In Russia, cases of infection with a variety of the strain of the coronavirus delta AY.4.2 have been reported. This was announced by the head of the scientific group for the development of new methods for diagnosing human diseases at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Kamil Khafizov.

According to him, we are talking about isolated cases. The new type of virus is an offshoot of the delta line, Khafizov explained. Like other delta strains, this strain can be more dangerous than the original COVID-19 strains identified.

“In some circles, the new genovariant is called delta plus, but the same name previously referred to another variant and therefore there is now some confusion,” said Khafizov, referring to AY.4.2 (quoted by RIA Novosti).

He did not rule out that this type of delta can provoke an additional rise in the incidence. At the same time, the existing COVID vaccines are able to protect against the new strain, Khafizov assured.

“It is not so different as to drastically change the ability of binding to antibodies,” – explained the expert.

Since September, the incidence of coronavirus has been actively growing in Russia. Daily mortality from COVID in the country has exceeded 1,000 people. Against the background of a surge in the spread of the virus, the authorities are introducing QR codes everywhere. In addition, from October 30, a period of non-working days has been announced in the Russian Federation.

Russia has banned the sale of 61 models of Samsung smartphones in the case of banning the Samsung Pay service, IZ.RU reported.

The sale of models from the 2017 Samsung Galaxy J5 to the latest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Samsung Galaxy Fold is prohibited.

Doctor of Medical Sciences, virologist Anatoly Altstein, in an interview with RT, commented on reports that isolated cases of the disease with a variety of the AY4.2 coronavirus delta strain are being detected in Russia.

“Now the Delta strain dominates. He is everywhere. As for a new variety, such varieties are constantly emerging. The virus multiplies, its genomes are inaccurately copied, as a result of which new varieties appear, ”said Altstein.

He noted that the experts “are focused on the Delta strain and all necessary measures are being taken against it.”

“Of course, accelerating the pace of vaccination will help in this situation, but the question is how to accelerate them … The methods of protection are well known to everyone – wearing masks in crowded places, especially in public transport, keeping a distance, working in remote access, if possible. That is, all the measures that reduce contact between people to a minimum, ”concluded the virologist.

As the head of the scientific group for the development of new methods for diagnosing human diseases at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Kamil Khafizov said earlier, the AY.4.2 variant of the “delta” line is found in isolated cases in Russia.
